In setup.py, the license is marked as HPND but in LICENSE file, it is marked as PIL :

LICENSE file
Like PIL, Pillow is licensed under the open source PIL Software License:

setup.py

try:
    setup(
        ......
        license="HPND",        
        },
        classifiers=[
            "License :: OSI Approved :: Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer (HPND)",  # noqa: E501

Would you please clarify what the actual license is?
Please either update the LICENSE or setup.py file?

@SoheilSaif They are one-in-the-same, see #1507 for details. That said, if you want to submit a PR to change that LICENSE file to read "Like PIL, Pillow is licensed under the open source HPND license" … that would probably be a reasonable move at this point. Thanks
